"Neil reached behind Andrew and popped Kevin in the back of the head to shut him up. Matt choked on a laugh and tried unsuccessfully to pass it off as a cough. Kevin froze for a startled second, then sent Neil a scathing look.
"No one wants to hear that right now," Neil said. "If you hit me again," Kevin started. Andrew cut in with a casual, "You'll what?"
-Nora Sakavic, The King's Men, page 218
#not Andrew being biased as fuck#like the way he puts neil above even kevin is just *chefs kiss#all for the game#aftg quotes#neil josten#nora sakavic#aftg#andrew minyard#tfc#the foxhole court#andreil#underrated moment tbh#especially when u compare itvto how andrew acted when anyone else hurt kevin#also how neil was jealous that kevin had someone like Andrew in his corner at the start#like Andrew is so in love with neil#like remember neils deal with andrew is supposedly about protecting andrew#which is such bs andrew just wanted an excuse to protect Neil

I feel like it’s probably been said before but honestly it was iconic of Andrew to say he wouldn’t wish Neil on anyone but a mortician, that’s some ‘til death do us part ass bullshit just aggressive and emotionally stunted
#aftg#andrew minyard#neil josten#andriel#they make me sick#how are these bastards in such a loving sweet relationship#putting them in a jar and shaking it like a snowglobe <3#the fact that he says it so so early too like sir your crush is embarrassing#feverdreamsandlucidnightmares

Aaron and Neil beef will always be funny to me Neil’s like ya im in love with your identical twin brother he means more to me than life itself, but you piss me off fr
#and aaron’s like my brother loved you so much he sacrificed our deal for YOU#AND you look very similar to my girlfriend kaitlyn#but you suck and i can’t stand you#i don’t think they actually hate each other#but they would not interact if andrew wasn’t in the mix#aftg#tfc#the foxhole court#aaron minyard#neil josten

When the misunderstanding is mutual but they’re both so sweet about it (coffee shop au edition)
Inspired by the tags below (originally on this post) from @blahblaheverythingisgay and @lovelyprincejehan accompanied by some thoughts:
thank you for bringing this GALAXY brain take to my attention 😂 this guy comes in, all cagey about his past and his scars, always wearing baggy clothes but complaining about compression clothes (being on the run does a number on your joints and muscles), picking out a name for himself??? OBVIOUSLY he’s trans right
They somehow manage to have like three separate conversations about it without realizing they’re talking about two very different scenarios. Andrew only was so wrong for so long because scars on their own (and even being a criminal lbr) are such non-issues that it didn’t even occur to him that Neil could be talking about anything less important than being trans lol
Andrew had his little crisis about it and landed pretty solid on yeah he’s still into Neil regardless, and yeah he’s still super gay. He’ll figure out the rest from there. The only thing he didn't prepare for was Neil being uh. Cis
#that’s still his Neil 🙏#and it makes me laugh so much for Andrew to be THROWN#when his not-bf in his not-relationship is actually cis#who could’ve seen it coming.#not Andrew#and to be fair probably also like half the foxes. they thought they had this guy figured out#we love a good shenanigan#and no foxes were even harmed in the making of this misunderstanding#everything works out!!#lowest stakes au I have yet#love that for us#fan art#my art#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#coffee shop au#digital

rereading aftg and realising just how oblivious neil was is truly hilarious
just a few pages ago renee told neil andrew is gay and neil literally had to lie down to process it, now he's admitting he watches andrew at the gym and is impressed by how much he lifts??? dude. you are down SO bad
#oblivious idiot. I love him#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#also I feel like some ppl really gloss over how much upper body strength andrew has#his racquet is HUGE and heavy as hell#and he lifts enough to impress neil (the guy who literally never compliments/praises anyone)#plus he eats so much sugar and seemingly couldn't care less about maintaining a proper athlete's diet#andrew is jacked. andrew is beefy#and neil loves it#finch.txt

Everyday I thank god (Nora) that aftg is set in college and not high school
#as an adult I’m so tired of queer media being set in high school#like no i actually don’t want to see high schoolers have sex and make out#I’m sure I would have still loved aftg as a teen but every year I get older it get harder to like high school centered media#I’m just over it#no saying it shouldn’t exist at all obviously#aftg#andrew minyard#all for the game#neil josten#the foxhole court#tfc

it's a pet peeve of mine when ppl frame Andrew as hating Aaron and being needlessly cruel to him... bc while yes, their relationship is fractured and strained, Andrew genuinely cares about his brother and wants the best for him, he just doesn't know how to show that in a normal way.
like he might not know how to express it in a healthy manner but Andrew LOVES Aaron, like he truly just wants Aaron to be healthy and safe. It's like, his whole Thing. Aaron is one of the most important people in his life. Andrew wants him around. He'd do anything to protect him.
I guarantee Andrew wants to be emotionally close to Aaron too, he just doesn't have the tools to do that and the thought of letting someone in terrifies him. He also has no concept of what a healthy sibling relationship looks like, so he has no frame of reference to work from.
#i love bickering twinyards as much as the next guy but sometimes ppl write andrew has if he thinks aaron is a waste of space#and that just isn't true#andrew values his brother#he wouldn't insist on keeping aaron close if he didn't#when ppl do this is just so obvious to me that they're using andrew as a mouthpiece for their own dislike of aaron#and like ok yeah you're entitled to not like a character i guess#but it's just so wildly out of character to me for andrew to treat aaron like shit for no reason beyond Being Cruel#like yeah andrew can be mean when he's feeling defensive or trying to make a point#and yeah he can treat people like shit if he's got a reason to justify it like Keeping People Safe#but he's not needlessly cruel to the people closest to him without cause#like neil says#everything andrew does#he does For A Reason#even neil isn't needlessly mean to aaron tbh#like he doesn't like aaron much at certain points but if he picks a fight with aaron it's never without cause#and he's genuinely happy for aaron when things work out with katelyn in the end#and he wants aaron to have a relationship with andrew as well! like it's important to neil that the twins have a healthy bond!!#anyway im getting off my soapbox now this is just something i was thinking about today a Lot#aftg#all for the game#the foxhole court

Neil seeing Andrew being insanely good with Katelyn and Aaron’s children and just being like ‘yup i expected that’ but Andrew seeing Neil watching him and saying ‘got baby fever yet?’ And Neil laughing at him for literally a week straight because Neil Abram Minyard-Josten would never want children of his own and they had discussed it before but Andrew still said it, dead serious and too smug to possibly think he was going to get a no from neil
#i love them just shitting on each other for fun#they would banter so much oh my gosh#like neil and Andrew having a fucked sense of humor is my life blood#all for the game#aftg#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil

i need andrew to be sitting stoicly next to neil as they watch a re-run of one of andrew's best matches and i need andrew to score a goal by shooting across the entire court and i need neil to lose his mind like "did you see that?!?!? holy shit this goalkeeper guy is fucking amazing. i bet he fucks hard" and andrew (the goalkeeper guy in question) is just staring at neil like -.-
#i love andrew honestly he's such a cutie#he found out neil's major was math and starting percentaging him all the time#catering to the niche interests of neils mind#neil can and is actually allowed to hold andrew minyards face in his hands and squish it#and give it a little kissie if he so likes#believe it or not < that's actually true like#is that not mind blowing#aftg#tfc#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil

I'm getting a little teary eyed thinking about how, because of Neil, Andrew gets to experience a soft and gentle love where all his boundaries and traumas are respected. I think it says so much that Neil was basically raised on the run by a mother who ensured he only ever looked out for himself, and his own needs, and yet Neil doesn't ever once think about crossing Andrew's boundaries.
He creates such a safe space for Andrew that eventually he doesn't even have to ask Andrew for permission to touch him bc Andrew is comfortable and secure enough to allow it because he KNOWS Neil will never harm him. Neil provides an outlet for all of Andrew's love to spill out freely without him ever having to worry and i find that so goddamn beautiful.
Like i don't think Andrew probably ever thought he'd get to a point in his life where he'd be living in domestic bliss with a lover and pets. Yet Neil stumbled into his life and gave that to him. He gave him safety, and trust, and comfort. Neil gave Andrew a quiet after the storm he probably thought would never leave him!!!
#was just thinking about neil getting andrew off the first time and how nora said his hands were tembling#but andrew didn't know if it was restrained murder or relief#well i choose to believe it was relief!!!#relief bc andrew made it through something that made him vulnerable#relief that he was okay#relief that Neil helped him experience something he never thought he could have#like i find it overwhelming just thinking about it#i can't imagine how something like that FEELS#neil loves him so beautifully !!!!!#andrew minyard#neil josten#andreil#all for the game#aftg#the foxhole court#tfc
